Cyanide is known to inhibit the flow of electrons along the electron transport chain. How would exposure to cyanide affect the p

H of the outer mitochondrial compartment (the inter- membrane space)
Biology

lord [1]3 years ago

Answer:

The pH will be very High.

Explanation:

The electron chain is responsible for generating the Proton Motive Force, which pumps H+ (protons) into the inter membrane space, to lower the pH.Therefore if Cyanide inhibits the ETC, the PMF will be stopped.

Hydrogen ions will not be pumped into the inter-membrane space,to lower the pH  of the medium for increase acidity. Hence, electrochemical gradient from the diffusion of H+ back into the matrix will not  be generated,

Energy for ATP synthesis by ATPase Enzyme will not be produced. Therefore ATP synthesis will stop.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. a. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis.

b. The third phase is anaphase. This phase only takes about 0.8 percent of the cell cycle to complete, which is the shortest time required out of all the phases. During anaphase the sister chromatids, or the two identical parts of a chromosome, are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers.

2. Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth cell replacement and asexual reproduction.

  • Development and growth. After meiosis has produced a gamete, and this has fused with another gamete to form an embryo, the embryo grows using mitosis. ...
  • Cell replacement. ...
  • Asexual reproduction.

Considering the drifting of continents, how do you explain the abundance of marsupials and the absence of native placental mamma
garri49 [273]

Answer:

this phenomenon is a natural consequence of evolutionary processes and continental drift  

Explanation:

Marsupials are mammals in which newborn offspring are carried in a pouch of the female (mother) body. On the other hand, placentals are mammals that complete embryo development in the mother's body, in the placenta. All the extant marsupials are endemic to Australia and the Americas. It has been shown that marsupials diverged (evolved) in South America, Australia and Antarctica when these landmasses were joined. In Australia, marsupials evolved to fit an ecological niche, which can be attributed to geographic isolation due to continental drift, while placental mammals are relatively recent and more scarce (mainly bats and rodents) within this region.

You shoot a deer. you do not see it go down. how long should you wait before trailing the deer? half an hour two hours half a da
svp [43]
You should wait at least half an hour before trailing the deer. You should try to watch carefully and see which way it goes. Chasing a wounded animal yields meat that tastes gamey, so try not to chase. When you do trail, follow the blood trail. Listen carefully while you wait and try to hear where the deer is or if it goes down.
